Thank you Delonix, I'm enjoying my morning cup of coffee at the moment....
Do the beans smell like coffee if you scrape them?

Alexandramou:

When they're ripe they will turn bright red...however, it doesn't smell like "Coffee" until the seeds are roasted. I eat the coffee cherries...they are sweet and taste nothing like coffee. :>)

Wow Really interesting. I never knew they looked like that at all! Am really surprised. And you eat the coffee cherries too!
